2016 MEDICAL BENEFITS

Medical Plan – Definitions

Health benefits have a terminology all their own. As we discuss your benefits the following terms will be used frequently:

Deductible: A deductible is a portion of money that you pay before the plan begins to pay benefits. Your plan only has a deductible if you choose to go out of the provider network

Copay: A fee paid directly to a provider, facility or pharmacy at time of service.

Copays due accrue toward your annual out of pocket maximum.

Coinsurance: The portion of the bill you are responsible to pay.

Out of Pocket Maximum: caps your member responsibility for in-network services.

Prior Authorization: certain services require medical review in order to determine medical necessity. View the Prior Authorization listing at www.fchn.com or in your Open Enrollment Guide posted on the district website.

2016 FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT

When you choose to participate in the ASD Flexible Spending Account Program you can set aside pre-tax dollars to:

• Cover medical, dental or vision expenses not covered by your health plan.

• Pay for non-medical dependent care expenses.

2016 Contribution Limits:

$2,550 Healthcare FSA$5,000 Dependent Care FSA$300 Minimum Contribution

How an FSA Works

1. Sign Up Review your medical expenses for the last year and estimate

your expenses for 2016. Determine the amount you would like to contribute to your

FSA on a pre-tax basis2. Contribute

ASD will arrange to have the determined amount of your pre-tax earnings contributed to your FSA.

3. Use Your Funds When you incur a qualified expense, you can either pay with

the HealthEquity Visa debit card or submit the expenses through the HealthEquity online tool for reimbursement.

Save your receipts! You’ll need them to submit reimbursements or to validate debit card expenses.

Plan Wisely When Setting Aside FSA Funds

The FSA is a tax-preferred account and federal guidelines are very specific about what happens to funds that are not spent by the end of the plan year.

Healthcare FSA: Annual rollover of up to $500 is allowed You are eligible to roll funds over to the next year even if you

decide not to make additional contributions.Example: Lisa set aside $1,400 in 2014 for Healthcare

expenses. She spent $1,100. Lisa decides that she won’t contribute additional

funds to the FSA in 2015.Lisa has $300 that will roll over to the 2015 plan

year. Healthcare FSA accounts with a balance of more than $500

will forfeit amounts over $500Dependent Care FSA: No rollover is available. Unused contributions are forfeited.
